Doctor Who: The Visitation Review

 


Doctor Who fans after taking a few weeks of of reviewing all of Doctor Who season 19 i'm now finally back with my review of the very next season 19 episode. This episode is actually quite famous for being the last ever episode in the classic Doctor Who canon to feature the Sonic Screwdriver since the device would be destroyed in this episode and it wouldn't be seen again until the 1996 Doctor Who TV movie and so then join me as I review the episode that saw the death of the Sonic Screwdriver with the episode in question being called simply just "The Visitation" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is The Doctor and his companions find themselves near London in the 17th century and have to stop an evil race of Aliens from whipping out all of humanity by using a very deadly plague. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad with this episodes main plotline being genuinely quite engaging as well as being very entertaining as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Starring in this episode is of course Peter Davison as The Doctor , Matthew Waterhouse as Adric and Sarah Sutton as Nyssa. Also starring in this episode is Janet Fielding as Tegan Jovanka , Michael Robbins as Richard Mace , Michael Melia as Terileptil Leader , Peter Van Dissel as Android , James Charlton as The Miller , Neil West as The Poacher , Eric Dodson as The Headman , John Savident as The Squire , Anthony Calf as Charles , John Baker as Ralph , Valerie Fyfer as Elizabeth and Richard Hampton as A Villager.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. With all of this episode cast including this shows main cast turning in some truly wonderful performances which only goes to make this episode all the more memorable for me personally in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Now then this episode features one of the very rare occasions where a villain from the episode actually enters the TARDIS and this got me thinking why haven't we seen the Daleks enter the TARDIS before. Since seeing any villain enter the TARDIS is creepy enough already and yet to my knowledge at least we've never seen the Daleks enter the tardis which is such a shame because that would be such a freaking cool moment in the show and it would be a pretty creepy visual as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


As I mentioned at the very start of this review this episode was the last episode to feature the Sonic Screwdriver. This was done because both the writer of this episode Eric Saward and producer John Nathan-Turner hated the fact that the writers would often use the Sonic Screwdriver would often use the device to get the characters out of situations and so by removing the device the idea was that it would force the writers to get creative and in my opinion it worked really well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Oddly enough this episode doesn't continue on with this seasons tradition of having one companion to absent for the episode. With all three of this seasons companions playing a fairly substantial role in the plot of this episode which in all honesty makes me wonder why they had to get rid of a companion in the previous episodes when it's clear as day that they had the ability to give all three companions a substantial role in any given episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


This episode is also a historical episode which are always fun to watch and if i'm being honest this episode was a really good historical episode. With my one major issue being that this episodes main villains just weren't that threatening with this episodes monsters looking more like giant fish rather then instead of some kind of threatening alien race which for a classic Doctor Who episode is never ever going to be a good thing whatsoever in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then I cannot remember whatever this episodes grand total running time was but I do know that for a fact that this episode has /had an exact grand total running time of roughly one hour and thirty six minuets. Which was a bit on the short side for a story like this one since you very easily could have gotten at the least five episodes worth of storyline just out of this one story alone and by adding in that extra episode it would then allow you the chance to develop your characters and your villains which is something that very sadly cannot be done with a four episode limit in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Now then instead of talking about this episodes action which was clunky at best I instead want to talk about the fact that this episode features a very key British historical event. That being the great fire of London now I don't pretend to know alot about this event but either way it was great to see this episode tackle this event in a way that didn't feel like it was talking down to me since if anything it felt like that this episode was just having some fun with this event whilst also telling us just how important this event was in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this was a really fun episode to watch and it's one that I can very easily see myself coming back to after i've finished watching then thus reviewing every single episode of this season because this episode is just that good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Amazon . CO .UK , the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.

Scooby-Doo And The Witch's Ghost Film Review

 


Scooby-Doo fans it's been at the very least two months since I last reviewed anything that's to do with Scooby-Doo and since my last Scooby-Doo review was based off of Scooby-Doo On Zombie Island it only makes sense to me at the very least that this review be based off of the very next direct to video Scooby-Doo film. So then join me as a review the film that introduced the world to a now famous rock band with the freaking film in question being called simply just "Scooby-Doo And The Witch's Ghost" enjoy.

The plot of this film is Scooby and the rest of the Mystery Inc gang go to the small town of Oakheaven as the guest of famed horror book writer Ben Ravencroft and while there they discover anther mystery that needs to be solved. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that freaking bad bur that's also the issue because of the fact that the previous films plot was so good it's shocking and disheartening to see that the second films plot just isn't as god in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this film is Scott Innes as Scooby-Doo and Norville "Shaggy" Rogers and Frank Welker as Fred Jones. Also starring in this film is Mary Kay Bergman as Daphne Blake , B.J. Ward as Velma Dinkley , The great and perfectly cast Tim Curry as Ben Ravencroft , Jennifer Hale as Sally "Thorn" McKnight , Neil Ross as Mayor Corey and Exhibit Voice , Jane Wiedlin as Dusk , Bob Joles as Jack and The Constable , Kimberly Brooks as Luna , Tress MacNeille as Sarah Ravencroft and Peter Renaday as Mr. McKnight.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really freaking good. With Tim Curry of course turning in a truly wonderful performance in this film and heck even B>J> Ward's more youthful voice for Velma oddly works well for this film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Doing the animation for this film is of course Mook DLE whom also did the animation for previous Scooby Doo film and did the animation for the next two animated direct to video Scooby Doo films. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really freaking good which considering that the previous film had some truly fantastic animation it only makes sense that this film would also have to good animation as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Now then I really do think that this film inspired the ending to Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed simply because the two endings are very similar to one another. With the endings to both films revolving around the gang throwing something to each other other in order to defeat that films main villain and so it really wouldn't surprise me at all if James Gunn became inspired by this film because it's so freaking blatant in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

This film instead of having one sole mystery technically has to none of which im going to spoil but I will say that having two mysteries in the same film is pretty bold and daring move. It's just a shame then that only the second mystery gets alot of actual effort thrown into it with the first mystery getting nothing that would help us the audience solve that actual mystery ourselves in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


If there's ne thing that this film is famous for it's for introducing the world to The Hex Girls and yeah I really did like them in this film. That being said however the girl group do act needlessly scary in key parts of the film which is just something that rubbed me the wrong way simply because we get to find out the truth about these girls and if they didn't act needlessly scary then they wouldn't have been key suspects in the first mystery of this film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of roughly one hour and six minuets and thirty five seconds. Which is such a short amount of running time in order to probably tell this story and to give both of this films mysteries any kind of justice as such I really do think that this film should have at the very least have been one hour and thirty minuets long in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Now then since this film is a comedy film after all that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty just OK at best. Since alot of this films jokes didn't really all that hard for me personally but on the flip side of that tho is when the film does indeed tell a very funny joke it is a genuinely funny joke in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this film is a pretty decent follow up film to Zombie Island but at the exact same time tho Zombie Island is very clearly the better of the two freaking films in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this review from IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because the official Scooby Doo fandom wiki page actually has images from this film up on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all fairly high quality and as well as being as fairly high definition.

Blood Drive: The F...ing Cop TV Series Review

 


There are alot of TV shows out there and sadly quite alot of them get cancelled and thus fall into TV obscurity. As such I thought that i'd take a look at one of those very shows today which despite getting both god ratings and good reviews was sadly cancelled after it's first and only and season and so then join me as I review the season premiere of Blood Drive with the episode in question being called simply just "The F...ing Cop" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is a cop is forced to embark upon a deadly race across a America where the winner receives ten million American dollars. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was genuinely really engaging and was also genuinely quite entertaining as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.  


Starring in this episode is former Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles star Alan Ritchson as Arthur Bailey , Christina Ochoa as Grace d'Argento and Thomas Dominique as Christoper Carpenter. Also starring in this episode is Marama Corlett as Aki , Colin Cunningham as Julian Slink , Andrew Hall as The Gentleman , Darren Kent as The Scholar , Craig Jackson as Cliff , Jenny Stead as Domi , Brandon Auret as Rib Bone , Altovise Lawrence as Sergeant Gower , Carel Nel as Rasher , Nathan Lynn as Junkie , Adam Pelkowitz as Fat Elvis , Paul Pieterse as Clown Dick , Bjorn Steinbach as Barry and Jesse Suntele as Todd.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty OK at best. Which given that this show aired on the SYFY network is something that I kind of expecting to be the case even more so when you take into account that all of this episodes main cast actors and actresses aren't that very well known in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 



So now then I personally saw bot this show and of course this episode as a lot more of a demented version of the classic Wacky Races TV series. I mean both shows have a vast diverse amount of characters all of whom have there own wacky personalities with cars that help sell you on those personalities all of which convinced me that this show is a more demented version of Wacky Races in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Look to be really honest here I really do feel that this show aired on the wrong network since this show is basically a horror show that for strange reason chose to air on the SYFY Channel. Which just doesn't make that much sense to me since there were places like Netflix around back in 2016 which would have been a more perfect home for this show and we would have gotten a few more seasons out of this show as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

I say this because everything about this show and about this episode just doesn't look like that it would do well enough on the SYFY. With my point being proven with the fact that this great show that had loads of potential was cancelled after it's first and only season and so why the makers of this show and of this episode chose to go to the SYFY Channel with this show is well and truly beyond since both Netflix and Shudder would have been a much better home for a show like this one in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


I will very much admit that this episode does something which I didn't like and that's the fact that this episode didn't set up any plotlines for the rest of this season. Which is something that all good first episodes of any TV show should be able to do no problem but yet for some strange reason this first episode only sets up the main plotline and nothing more then that which just leaves us with a bunch of characters that we don't know and that were not quite sure that we even like yet in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then this episode had / has an exact grand total running time of exactly forty four minuets and eight seconds. Which is the bog standard length for any TV show that claims to be an hour long even tho it airs on a network that airs adverts but even so this is perfect running time for an episode like this one to last since once you've set up the main plotline of the show there's not really that much left to do in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


So now then I have absolutely no idea if this show is classed as a horror show or not since there are plenty of horror elements in it but at the same time the show isn't even listed as being a horror show since it's instead listed as being a science fiction action television series. This is despite the fact that this episode has a the best death scene that i've ever seen in any kind of horror TV show which i'm not going to spoil here but it will make you look at car engines differently in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this episode was a really solid opening first episode to a really solid and a really underrated TV show with this episode being a really good example of how good and how crazy this TV show can get in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Wikipedia , IMP Awards . Com an Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.

Doctor Who: Kinda Review

 


Doctor Who fans it's that time of the week of the again and well then I have to admit that I wasn't even sure that I even wanted to do a Doctor Who review this week. However tho I started something and i'm determined to get it finished and to see it through to the very end which means that I am indeed back with yet another Doctor Who review and so then join me as I review the episode that started out hated by the Doctor Who fandom but had steadily been getting alot more love and respect with the episode in question being called simply just "Kinda" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is The Doctor , Nyssa , Tegan and Adric land on a planet so that Nyssa can relax however while there the group happen upon a dangerous religious figure that will scare Teagan for quite some time. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty confusing and very freaking hard to follow at best in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Starring in this episode is of course Peter Davison as The Doctor , Matthew Waterhouse as Adric , Sarah Sutton as Nyssa and Janet Fielding as Tegan Jovanka. Also starring in this episode is Richard Todd as Sanders , Nerys Hughes as Todd , Simon Rouse as Hindle , Mary Morris as Panna , Sarah Prince as Karuna , Adrian Mills as Aris , Lee Cornes as Trickster , Jeff Stewart as Dukkha , Anna Wing as Anatta and Roger Milner as Annica.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty. Really good alot of this comes down to things the first of which is the that cast are genuinely good actors and actresses and the second of which is that director Peter Grimwade really does know how to direct his cast in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



So now then if there's one thing that this episode is famous for and it's the fact that the main snake villain is made up of one terribly made bad puppet. Which yeah does look really bad even by the standards of the early nineteen eighties and what makes things even worse is the fact that they could have done this snake alot better if they just had more time to build a better puppet in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Now then as with the past two episodes of this particular series this episode also gets rid of one companion. However instead of just having that companion just straight up disappear from the main storyline of the episode this episode actually writes out the companion and gives them an actual reason for not appearing in this episode which is something that I wished the previous two episodes in this series did as it shows that the writer actually knows what the heck they are doing in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

This episode was directed by writer and director Peter Grimwade with this episode actually being his second to last episode that he directed for Doctor Who. I have to say that the man really was a talented director and by all accounts he was a pleasure to work with as a director but his friendship with producer John Nathan Turner went downhill all because he wouldn't invite John Nathan Turner out to lunch even tho he was going to take him out do dinner anyways which is just a stupid reason to not keep him on board as a director in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


This episode is very much a Tegan episode but even so she doesn't really get alot of the focus in this episode. Which is a shame because when we do get to see her she's usually doing something that is key to moving along the plot of the episode and alot of her scenes really do offer up something that is at the very least very visually interesting which is something that cannot be said for alot of this episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now then this episode is actually four episodes long with each episode lasting no more then twenty five minuets in length which means that this episode had an overall grand total running time of roughly one hour and thirty eight minuets in total running time length. Which was a great amount of time for this episode to last however I really do feel that this episode could have been at the vert least five or even six episodes long since then you could have made the story alot stronger amongst over things all of which would have made this episode alot better then what it already is in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Now then since there is an action packed finale to this episode that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. Which considering that Classic Doctor Who very rarely if ever did any kind of action scenes whatsoever that is a freaking good thing in my freaking anyways / at least.


Overall this episode is the worst episode of series nineteen thus far which I have a feeling that that will change once we reach Time Flight but for now at least this episode is the worst one of this entire series in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very rev8ew and well then that means that this very review and that means that this very episode erns itself a a grand old score of exactly a 5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from IMP Awards . Com , Amazon . Co . Uk the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.

My SPOILER FREE First Impressions Of The Moon Knight TV Series

 


Marvel fans the house of ideas is back with yet another new TV series that's set within the confides of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and I have to admit that i'm kind of getting MCU fatigue. Since we are now getting a new MCU TV show evert few months and that is kind of over doing it for me personally so then join me as I give my spoiler free first impressions of the newest Marvel Cinematic Universe TV show entry with the TV show in question being called simply just "Moon Knight" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is a Museum gift shop worker suddenly finds himself the target of an evil cult whom will do absolutely anything to kill him for once and for all. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was decent enough for a first episode but it didn't really do a good job of setting up the storyline for the rest of the show tho in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.  


Starring in this episode is one of this shows many executive producers Oscar Isaac as Steven Grant / Moon Knight. Also starring in this episode was May Calamawy as The Voice Of Layla El-Faouly , F. Murray Abraham as The Voice Of Khonshu , Lucy Thackeray as Donna , Saffron Hocking as Dylan , Shaun Scott as Bertrand Crawley , Alexander Çobb as J.B. , Marcell Szelle as Ronnie and Ethan Hawke as Arthur Harrow.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. I say that because even tho Oscar Isaac are indeed good enough in this episode they've been better in other projects and that does hurt the overall quality of the acting that we get to see in this very episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Doing the CGI for this episode is Crafty Apes ,  Framestore , Mammal Studios , Perception and Union Visual Effects. Now interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really freaking good which given whom is involved with creating the CGI effects for this episode really shouldn't come as a surprise to anybody whatsoever in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Now then apparently the character of Moon Knight was going to be introduced in the second season of Daredevil. Where and how this introduction was to take place is anybodys guess but given the grounded nature of Daredevil it's very hard for me to picture a supernatural based character such as Moon Knight working well enough in that show to please the Moon Knight fans in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

If anything this kind of supernatural based superhero would have worked better on a show like The Gifted rather then Daredevil. Simply just due to the fact that Daredevil is a show that's alot more grounded in reality were as a show like The Gifted for example isn't grounded in reality and so you could really do the character of Moon Knight more justice in The Gifted rather then in Daredevil in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


To me this whole episode just feels like it's an average episode of an average TV show which coming from Marvel that is sadly becoming the norm. Which is a shame because when the Marvel Cinematic Universe knocks it out of the park they really do knock it out of the park but for some strange alot of the more recent Phase Four projects just haven't been that good in the longer run of things in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty five minuets and thirty two seconds. Which was in all honesty the perfect running time for this episode since it did a solid job of setting up the main hero and as well as setting up the main villain of this show however there were huge portions that episode just felt boring to me and could have done with a little tweaking here and there just to make them freaking better in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


So now then this show is meant to be an action show after all and that there for means that I have to actually talk about the actual actin that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. Which given that we only two action scenes in this entire freaking episode is not a good thing at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall I can't really see this show being all that good nor can I see this show having the same impact as say either Wandavision or Loki for that matter because everything that's in this episode just screams average TV show to me in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very post now then even tho I will not be giving this episode a rating simply because this is only the shows first ever episode and this isn't a review this is just my first impressions of the show and not an actual review of the freaking show in question.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post from IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the actual images that are actually from this actual freaking episode being Google Images this is simply because Google Images actually has a wide varitity of images from this actual freaking episode all of which are currently featured / up and on Google Images right now / as we speak and plus all of the images that are currently featured / up and on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in freaking definition.

Doctor Who: Four To Doomsday Review

 


Doctor Who fans it's the weekend and so then you all know what that means it's time for me to review the very next episode in Doctor Who Season 19. I will very much admit that I was actually very much looking forward to seeing this episode just because I was so looking forward just to be watching any kind of Doctor Who be it new Doctor or classic Doctor Who and so then join me as I review the episode that is actually the very episode that Peter Davison actually filmed for Doctor Who with the episode in question being called simply just "Four To Doomsday" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is The Doctor , Adric , Nyssa and Tegan find themselves  onboard a spacecraft heading for Earth however the ships commander has something sinister planned for the inhabitants of the planet Earth. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad with this episodes plotline also being pretty engaging in parts in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Starring in this episode is of course Peter Davison as The Doctor , Matthew Waterhouse as Adric , Sarah Sutton as Nyssa and Janet Fielding as Tegan Jovanka. Also starring in this episode is Stratford Johns as Monarch , Annie Lambert as Enlightenment , Paul Shelley as Persuasion , Philip Locke as Bigon and as The Voice Of Control , Nadia Hammam as Villagra , former Last Of The Summer Whine star Burt Kwouk as Lin Fut and Illarrio Bisi Pedro as Kurkutji.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really freaking good. With Peter Davison really doing a good job in this episode which wasn't something that I expected to be the case as this was the first Doctor Who that he filmed and so then nobody would have blamed hi if he freaking turned in an above average performance in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



As with the last episode this episode also makes use for a lot of CGI effects which for the time in which they were done I thought that they were really well done. I will very much that I really did like alot of the special effects in this episode since they were all I alot better then what I thought that they would be and even tho you can quite clearly tell that they filmed Peter Davison on a blue screen the special effects that we get in this episode really do hold up really well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.  


Now then as mentioned this episode was in fact the very first full episode that actor Peter Davison actually filmed for Doctor Who. Even tho he admitted to being very nervous during his first day on set it really doesn't come through in this episode since he comes across as somebody whom has been playing the role of The Doctor for many years and that is something that is hard to pull of in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

This episode is I believe the last ever episode until the 1996 Doctor Who TV movie to feature the Sonic Screwdriver. Which i'm kind of glad of just because the Sonic Screwdriver gives us an easy way for the characters to get out of danger and that thus removes any and all kinds of tension but at the same time it was also a huge part of the Doctor Who iconography and it should be treated as such in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Like with last weeks episode this weeks episode also have a companion just straight up disappear from the storyline with that honor now going to Nyssa whom I believe also gets the exact same treatment in the very next episode as well. Which only goes to serve to highlight why having three companions in the TARDIS in the exact same time is going to be an issue because it will always mean that one or even more companions will always get short changed and in the long run that is never ever going to be a good thing at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then while I cannot remember whatever this episodes grand total exact running time was I do know that this episode had a rough grand total running time of roughly one hour and I think thirty seven minuets. With this series being four episodes long and each of those four episodes lasting roughly twenty for to twenty five minuets long however I do feel that you could have squeezed at the very least one more episode out of this storyline just because then you could have made the villains plan a little bit more clearer then what it already is and you could have given some character development to The Doctor companions in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.  


Now then since there was some action in this very episode that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that freaking bad. However it wasn't that good either which is kind of the issue here as this episodes action comes across as being both cheap and incredibly lazy in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this episode was a really good episode and it's one that I can very easily see myself coming back to over and over again which is always going to be a very good thing for me personally in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode erns itself a freaking grand old total score of exactly an 8 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Amazon . Co . Uk , the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

My First Impressions Of The Live Action Halo TV Series

 


Video game fans the Halo franchise is perhaps one of if not the most influential science fiction video game franchises of all time. As such a live action adaptation has been in the works for decades at this point well the very first episode of the live action Halo TV series has just been released and well then you know me I just had to check it out and so then here are my first impressions of the TV series which very little people were actually excited for with the TV series in question being called simply just "Halo" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is very hard for me describe not because it's either good or bad but because there's so little actual plot going on in this episode. Which is to be expected since this episode is the very very first episode of a new TV show but you still need to have an actual plot and the very fact that this episode doesn't have an actual plotline is huge freaking red flag for me personally in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Starring in this episode is Pablo Schreiber as John-117 / Master Chief , Natasha McElhone as Catherine Halsey and Bookeem Woodbine as Soren-066. Also starring in this episode is Shabana Azmi as Margaret Parangosky , Natasha Culzac as Riz-028 , Olive Gray as Dr. Miranda Keyes , Yerin Ha as Kwan Ha , Bentley Kalu as Vannak-134 , Kate Kennedy as Kai-125 and Charlie Murphy as Makee , Danny Sapani as Captain Jacob Keyes.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that freaking bad. Which for this episode is a very good thing indeed heck it seems to me that this show might be very well cast indeed and that can only be a very good thing indeed in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 



Doing the CGI effects for not only this episode but also possibly the rest of this TV series is Rocket Science VFX and Homemade Vfx. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really freaking bad yes there are some good to even decent looking effects in this episode but the vast majority of this CGI just look really freaking to me in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Now then as you all will know doubt know this TV series is based upon the Halo video game franchise and this TV show is pretty much just Halo in name only. Since there was nothing that's in this very first episode that screams Halo to me personally and I didn't even play Halo all of that much and even I can tell that the makers of this show didn't make a Halo show they made something else but they just slapped the Halo iconography all freaking other it and that's really it in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

The biggest issue for me personally is the fact that the makers of this show admitted that they didn't even look at the video games that they were adapting. This is to me is a big issue because it shows that the creators of this TV series have no respect for this franchise and so they aren't going to get why the fans love these characters and love this world and in the end that will come back to hurt this show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


I will admit that this episode does have a very exciting opening twenty minuets and if that had been the entire episode I would have been more the satisfied with this episode. However tho after those first twenty minuets this episodes gets really boring which is a shame because the episode started out on such promising aspects and yet for some strange it just couldn't keep up on all of that momentum in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then this episode had / has an exact grand total running time of exactly fifty eight minuets and fifty six seconds. Which after those first twenty minuets this episode really does start to drag on simply because nothing new ins being added to the plot of this show and so it just comes across as being boring as all heck which is never going to be a freaking good thing at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


So now then this show is meant to be an action show after all and so then that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was the best part of this episode. This is simply because the action that we got to see in this very episode was actually entertaining and was more in line with the Halo games then the rest of this episode was in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall so far this show isn't of to the best of starts for me personally but it could get better as the show continues butt you only get one chance to make a good first impression and well then this show failed to do that to me in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very post now then even tho I will not be giving this episode a rating simply because this is only the shows first ever episode and this isn't a review this is just my first impressions of the show and not an actual review of the freaking show in question.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post from IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the actual images that are actually from this actual freaking episode being Google Images this is simply because the official Bel-Air fandom wiki page actually has a wide varitity of images from this actual freaking episode all of which are currently featured / up and on Google Images right now / as we speak and plus all of the images that are currently featured / up and on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in freaking definition.
